The top Touring trim, priced at $46,555, features a panoramic glass roof, ventilated front seats, a digital rearview mirror, and an optional two-tone paint scheme.
Technical Specifications and Charging Speed

The arrival of the Trailseeker is an important step for Subaru on its path to electrifying its model lineup. The price, although higher than the Outback, appears competitive for the segment of electric crossovers with similar performance and range characteristics. It is especially worth noting the emphasis on ground clearance and all-wheel-drive capabilities, which have traditionally been the brand’s strengths and are now carried over into the electric era. The success of this model may largely depend on the development of fast-charging infrastructure and customer reception of the brand’s new design language.
